M1XKD EDUCATION.' (From the Tablet.) We believe there is no part of the Catholic world out of Ireland in which the system of mixed education has any considerable num ber of Ecclesiastical supporters. In Ireland the number is not great ; but, having regard to the extravagance of the doctrine, it is certainly not inconsiderable. We mean, it is a matter deserving grave thought and much consideration, that in Ireland, of all ihe countries in the world there should be shown so much favour to a system which everywhere, so far as it has been tested by experience, has produced the most pernici ous consequences, and which, consequently, has been everywhere exploded and con demned. 1 he favour with which mixed education was originally regarded, arose from the down-trodden condition of the Irish Catho lics. W hen Catholic schools were hedge schools, with a ragged sentinel on the nearest hill-top or rising ground ; when the Govern ment schools were those of Kildare-street ; when the whole weigh...

KPlTOMli OF NEWS — ENGLISH AND FOREIGN. Evictions in Connemara. — Notices have been served upon the relieving officers by the managers of the Martin estate, of their intention to evict a vast number of unfortunate creatures now residing on this property. The number of houses, from which the inmates are to be cast out, is 276 ; but on account of the previous evictions in the same quarter, several families reside, in many instances, under the same roof ; so that we conceive it is a moderate calculation to estimate the number of in dividuals about to be subjected to all the tortures of extermination, at 1,600. In one fell swoop a number of paupers will be made, sufficient to fill one of our largest workhouses. It is a curious fact, that out of this property not a farthing of poor-rates has for a long time been collected. Under these circumstances, we think that steps should be at once taken to have the lands sold to liquidate the rates. As the inhabitants of this district will shortly ...

ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE. THE MIRACLES AT RIMINI. ( To the Editors of the Freeman's Journal. ) Gentlemen, — I live in a neighbourhood which is, for the colony, rather thickly populated. We are a busy, inquiring, thriving class of men in ge neral, and, though perhaps being one of the num ' her, it scarcely becomes me to say it, tolerably in telligent. Perhaps our wits are a little sharpened by friendly collision, as there are many constantly recurring topics in which we are anything but unanimous. However this may be, whether brains do become clearer or more addled by discussion, the fact is that we do dispute^ and that our newspapers furnish iio small proportion of the themes on which our debates, always energetic and profound when they are not otherwise, are established. Lately, your reports of the wonderful miracle, or rather succession of miracles, at Rimini, have en grossed all our opportunities of talk, and to tel, you the truth, have caused some little ferment amongst us. We ha...

* X'lTBRAT'itoi'ij. PHYSICAL A1ST3 MORAL .CHANGES. .1 remember me once with a cheerless eye, T.x have gaz'd on a clouded wintry sk,y.— r To have sigh'tl o'er a dreary seene ; For the fields had lost their verdant dress, The gardens their fragrance and loveliness, And the trees their foliage green. An angry wind career'd through the air— The mountains loolc'd bleak — leafless and bare Were the woods from the tempest's rage ; And nature seemed in that dismal waste, So worn, so wither'd and defaced, - To have sunk into sad old age. A few weeks over — I chanced once more , To view this scene so hopeless before, And I saw with what surprise ; All glowing and light, like 'a ^blushing bride, Jn venial beauty extended wide An Eden before my eyes ! The heavens had lost their gloomy form — The 'fields had cabt oil' their sombre brown — All Nature look'd young and bright ; , And playful winds, on th^ir' pinions fleet, S:ole fragrance rich from the flowers sweet, While they whisper' d of peace ...

GREAT HIGH-CHURCH DEMONSTRATION. Since our article on Mr. .Gorham was written we have received a paper containing a report of the great High-Church Meeting in St. Martin's Hall, Long Acre. The object of the meeting was to pro test against the decision of the several couits of law in Mr. Gorham' s case, to adopt an address to the: Archbishop of Canterbury, and to prevent, if possible, eren at the last Hour, tne institution m. Mr. Gorham to the Vicarage of Bramford Speke. The crowd was so great that the Committee found it necessary to open the Freemason's Hall, in Great Queen-street, where a supplementary meeting was held at the same time, and. some of the speakers adjourned from one room to the other to repeat their speeches. The only Prelate present was the Bishop of Bath and Wells. The principal clergy were Archdeacons Wilberforce, Manning, Thorpe, and Bartholomew, Dr. Pusey, Messrs. Sewell, Pal mer, and Bennett. Many other names are men tioned, but we do not recognise any more of ...

STANZAS, Written on the death of an Irish Emigrant Girl' at sea. ? 'BVE. K. S. ' (From the Australian Eva.) Weep for the dead ! let the. mourning wail Urealc soft o er the suii-lit wave ; ' ' ??' Let -the sighs ye waft on the passing gale ' :- Fall light on her billowy, grave. . Weep for the dead ! who hath passed from earth Like the bloom that the young flower wears, Like the fairy smile of an infant's mirth Ere it saddens into tears. She died not in her own fair land — In her childhood's happy home — Where the cheering voice and friendly hand To soothe and comfort come. She faded not among the flowers With whose sweet growth she grew, In that fair spring- of life's young ho;irs ' Her joyous girlhood knew. She lies not in the quiet tomb, In the church-yard's hallowed shade ; Where .the willow weeps and wild flowers bloom, And her kindred's graves are made ; Where the long grass waves, and the simple stone Keeps watch at the sleeper's head ; Where the soft spring winds, with plainti...

MR. GOKPIAM. As the long-debated case of Mr. Gorham has'at length-been brought to a conclusion, it may be interesting to our readers to re ceive some information about a gentleman whose name has become not a little notorious. Of Mr. Gorham himself we shall perhaps be permitted to take leave in this article, how ever important and interesting may prove the future results of the agitation of which he has been the cause. We will begin then ab ovo and state, in as few words as possible, who Mr. Gorham is, and what he has said, and done, in the course of his celebrated ' case.' Mr. Gorham was educated at the Univer sity of Cambridge, where be was a Fellow of Queen's College for eighteen years. Eor thirty-five years he laboured in the Anglican Church as a simple curate, and at the -end of that time he was'prefcrredby Lord 'Chan- cellor Lyndhurst, in January 1;84'6, to the Vicarage of St. Just, Penrith, in Cornwall, the western parish but one in England. It , was here that ;he was first br...

I id K KOYAL S U PREM AC Y, (From 'J)r, Wiseman's Sermon.) ' What we are told in the 37th Article is ' That that only prerogative' is claimed by the Crown, ' which we see to have been given always to all godly princes in the holy scriptures by God himself.' ' I must remark at the outset, that the words and examples here chosen are by no means happy. In the first place, the au thority is claimed for the Sovereign of these realms, in regard to lha Christian Religion, which was given by God Himself to the godly kings of the old law. One cannot but be startled at the recollection, that the kings of the Old Law were not the repre sentatives of G,od ; they were the usurpers of His place. God was the King of Israel till Israel asked for kings ; and when Samuel was afflicted at the demand, what did God reply? ' They have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them.' (1 Reg. viii, 7.) And He gave them kings in anger and not in love, and He told them, as a punishment, that th...
